FBA Certification is For:
Are you happy with your current income? Or are you still struggling?
Fitpro Starting Out (0-2 Years)
You can train clients, but need to sell your value and retain them longer.
Industry Pro (2-5 Years)
You need to grow, get more clients, and stop losing them after a few months.

Passion Alone Doesn’t Pay the Bills
FBA Certification is built to solve these exact problems, arming you with real-world skills and the confidence to launch and scale your career.
Getting your first clients
You know how to train, but how do you fill your calendar?
Making sure clients come back
It’s one thing to sign someone up; it’s another to keep them loyal.
Promoting yourself
Sending emails, developing new programs, increasing show rates, and closing sales aren’t covered in detail in your standard certification.
Balancing training and admin
Between sessions, billing, and scheduling, burnout is real.
Managing time, money & paperwork
Irregular paychecks, long hours, attendance tracking, and client records eat into your time and can make life stressful.
Finding ongoing support
After certification, there’s often no clear path to keep growing.
Operate at a Whole New Level
Taught by trainers, coaches, and instructors who’ve been there or are there now. We certify you with the must-have ‘between-session’ skills that power your long-term success.
